Very interesting talk by Alan Moore on the origins of consciousness, magic, shamanism, and how the entirety of human culture came out of the engagement of the first people experiencing consciousness with its full possibilities (which is how Moore defines "magic" for the purposes of this talk).
It's an hour long (45 min + 15 min QA), but if you don't have that time, the first fifteen minutes should give you the gist.
